15 What to Wear: A Guide

Letter From the Editor-in-Chief

Thank you for picking up this month’s edition of the Encounter, “College Edition.” In this issue, you will find a story offering advice for freshmen, an opinion piece on whether a master’s degree is important and a plea to everyone that decides to live on campus.

As you may have guessed, due to the cover and the date of publication, this issue serves as our April Fool’s edition. After looking through the archives for our past issue, “Flipping Through Time,” we stumbled upon a cover that we just had to do something with.

Based on the April 1, 2011 issue, pictured below, we hope our Sports Illustrated inspired cover gave you a nice laugh. If you liked that, you’ll “cheer” for our “centerfold” poster even more.

This issue also comes with some sad news. After this semester, I will no longer be Editor-in-Chief of the Encounter. It was an upsetting thing to hear and an even sadder thing to write.

I have come to love being the Editor for the Encounter. I feel that I have had such an amazing opportunity to expand my skills and to work together with such great people. However... it is time to pass the torch.

I’m going to miss being such a big part of the magazine, but I have such high hopes for my replacement, Valerie Reyes.

Val is such a dedicated and hardworking person. She’s so creative, and I know she’s the perfect person for the job. I can’t wait to see all she does as Editor-in-Chief.

Again, thank you for picking up the “College Edition” of the Encounter! I hope you love it just as much as we do.
